Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Qin Lie's worries soon became a reality.

In mid-air, red light and black mist collided continuously.

The pages of the Soul Sealing Book turned one by one, and red chains flew out from the pages, trying to lock up Wugu Luo.

But Wugu Luo occupied Pei Jinghan's body.

This body is too strong!

The moment those red chains were wrapped around him, he would forcefully break them.

Xu Qinghe's methods were indeed bizarre.

But she is clearly unable to control Uguro now.

The next moment, Qin Lie's vision blurred.

Wugu Luo's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When Qin Lie could see clearly again, he was already standing in front of Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe's expression changed, and she was about to back away.

Wugu Luo had already raised his palm and slammed it down.

boom!

Xu Qinghe fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

The ground collapsed instantly, and debris flew everywhere.

A deep pit appeared before Qin Lie's eyes.

Qin Lie's heart tightened suddenly.

"Xu Qinghe!"

In the deep pit, Xu Qinghe struggled to climb out.

But as soon as she moved, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wugu Luo slowly landed beside the deep pit.

He looked down at Xu Qinghe in the pit, a condescending smile on his face.

"Little girl, you've got some skills."

"But you are still no match for me."

Xu Qinghe raised her head, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth, but the arrogance in her eyes remained undiminished.

"I can only use half my power now."

"Otherwise, crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."

Wugu Luo's lips curled up as he looked at Xu Qinghe, his smile full of sarcasm.

"Now it seems you're more like that ant."

After saying that, he walked step by step toward Xu Qinghe in the deep pit.

With each step he took, the ground seemed unable to withstand his weight, trembling slightly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lie knew he couldn't watch any longer.

If this continues, Xu Qinghe might actually be beaten to death by Wugu Luo.

He gripped the broken snow tightly, and his blood and qi surged violently within him.

The next moment, Qin Lie pushed off with his feet and charged directly towards Wu Gu Luo.

A flash of cold light appeared in the shattered snow.

The blade cleaved straight down into Wuguluo's back.

But Uguro didn't even raise his head.

Just as the snowflakes were about to fall, he casually raised two fingers.

clang!

He held the snowflakes firmly between his fingers.

Qin Lie's pupils contracted.

Before he could even draw his sword, Wugu Luo had already raised his foot and kicked him directly in the stomach.

boom!

Qin Lie was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

His back slammed heavily against the distant city wall.

The city wall shook, and cracks instantly spread outwards.

Qin Lie slid down the wall to the ground, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Uguro chuckled dismissively.

"His skill level isn't high, but his courage is quite large."

"How dare you draw your knife against me!"

Qin Lie leaned against the city wall, his chest heaving violently.

He felt as if his internal organs had shifted.

He spat out the blood from his mouth and spat at Wugu Luo.

Then he raised his head, stared at Wugu Luo, and said, "Only the weak bully those who are lower in cultivation than themselves."

"The strong will only wield their swords against the even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Wugu Luo chuckled loudly.

"it is good."

"What a powerful man wielding his sword against an even stronger one."

His gaze fell on Qin Lie, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish."

"I'll kill you first, then I'll eat this little girl."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wugu Luo abandoned Xu Qinghe in the deep pit.

His figure blurred, and he instantly appeared in front of Qin Lie.

Just as Qin Lie was about to raise his knife, a cold hand grabbed his neck.

The next moment, he was lifted into the air by Wugu Luo with one hand.

Both feet off the ground.

Breathing suddenly became difficult.

Uguro looked at him with a mocking smile on his face.

"Kid."

"Don't you like being a hero and rescuing a damsel in distress?"

"You know, there's a price to pay for a hero saving a damsel in distress."

"And the price you have to pay today is your life."

Qin Lie's face turned red, and his neck felt as if it were being tightly clamped by iron clamps.

He was already seriously injured at this moment, but even if he hadn't been seriously injured, he would still be no match for Wugu Luo.

The only thing I can do now is to try to pry Wugu Luo's fingers open with my hands, hoping to make myself feel a little better.

But this struggle was futile; the difference in their levels of understanding was too great.

Qin Lie's fingers gripped the back of Wu Gu Luo's hand, but Wu Gu Luo's palm remained motionless.

Just then, Xu Qinghe, who was in the deep pit, also struggled to stand up.

She saw Qin Lie being held up in mid-air by Wu Gu Luo, who was choking him, and her red eyes suddenly turned cold.

The next moment, she stomped her foot and pounced directly at Wugu Luo.

The Book of Soul Sealing was opened once more.

The red light transformed into a sharp blade, piercing straight into Wugu Luo's back.

Wugu Luo didn't even turn his head.

He simply freed his other hand and casually slapped it behind him.

boom!

The black mist exploded.

Xu Qinghe had only rushed halfway when he was struck by this palm.

He was sent flying backward again, crashing heavily into the broken wall in the distance.

Wugu Luo then slowly turned his head to look at Xu Qinghe, his voice full of sarcasm.

"I've already told you, you're just an ant, so stop making futile struggles."

For Wugu Luo, casually swatting Xu Qinghe away was a trivial matter.

He slowly withdrew his hand and turned to look at Qin Lie, whom he had been holding in mid-air.

Qin Lie's face had turned purple, as if he was about to die at any moment.

But when Uguro looked at him, there was no pity in his eyes, only mockery.

"Kid, in your next life, just mind your own business and don't meddle in other people's affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wugu Luo's five fingers tightened little by little.

Click.

Qin Lie even heard a faint sound coming from his own neck.

In that instant, he felt as if his throat bones were about to be crushed.

My vision started to go black, and I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.

He desperately raised his hand and gripped Wugu Luo's wrist tightly, but it was no use.

Uguro's hand was like an iron clamp; no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't budge it an inch.

For the first time, Qin Lie felt a genuine emotion.

I might really die here.

But just then...

Suddenly, a violent shockwave exploded behind Wugu Luo.

boom!

A blast of air swept in, carrying up countless grains of sand and gravel.

The rubble flew up from the ground like a gray wave, crashing directly into Wuguluo's back.

Wugu Luo's expression changed slightly.

Just as he was about to turn around, a red figure bumped into him.

boom!

Uguro was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.

Qin Lie also fell to the ground, lying face down and panting heavily.

The moment the air was forced back into my throat, it burned with pain.

But no matter what, at least he could breathe again.

Qin Lie raised his head, and a surge of joy filled his heart.

Could it be the city lord who has arrived?

But when he looked closely, the joy on his face faltered slightly.

It's not the city lord, it's Xu Qinghe.

However, Xu Qinghe at this moment was completely different from before.

She was standing not far away at that moment, and her eyes, which were originally just a little red, were now as red as if they were dripping blood.

Even her originally jet-black hair turned blood red.

An extremely dangerous aura gradually emanated from her.

"I haven't been beaten up this badly in a long time."

"Very well, you've successfully angered me."

"Even if it costs me this body, I'll beat you to death today."

Uguro stood up from the rubble.

He lowered his head and patted the dust off his clothes, but there was little panic on his face.

On the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

"I can sense that you have become stronger."

"However, you are still no match for me."

Xu Qinghe sneered.

"Although I am no match for you."

"But I can still take you down with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Xu Qinghe's feet exploded.

She transformed into a red blur and charged directly towards Wugu Luo.

This time, she did not use the Soul Sealing Book again, nor did she use those red chains.

Instead, he raised his fist and smashed it towards Wugu Luo.

Upon seeing this, Wugu Luo not only did not retreat, but instead burst into laughter.

"Want to compete in physical strength? Even better!"

He also took a step forward and rushed towards Xu Qinghe.

"You should know that Pei Jinghan's body is a physical cultivation path."

"If I hadn't coveted his body, I wouldn't have paid such a high price a hundred years ago!"

boom!

Their fists collided heavily.

The shockwave exploded.

The surrounding walls were shaken and continued to crack.

Qin Lie was lying on the ground when the aftershock sent him rolling backward several times.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to lift his head.

Xu Qinghe and Wugu Luo were already locked in a fierce battle.

There aren't many fancy moves; it's just direct close-quarters combat.

Each collision felt like two giant rocks crashing together, shaking the entire Duanfeng Pass.

Qin Lie felt a chill run down his spine.

This is truly a battle between martial artists of high skill levels.

Xu Qinghe's aura was significantly stronger than before.

Each punch was accompanied by a blood-red shockwave.

However, Wugu Luo occupied Pei Jinghan's body, and his physical body was ridiculously strong.

He took Xu Qinghe's punch head-on without even retreating.

Sometimes he could even throw a punch back, forcing Xu Qinghe back half a step.

Qin Lie leaned against a broken rock and it took him a while to recover.

However, he could feel a burning pain in his throat, and not only his throat, but his whole body ached when he inhaled.

But now he can only worry helplessly.

Intervene?

Totally impossible.

If he rushes in now, he won't even be considered cannon fodder.

He hasn't used up all his attribute points yet, but he had already maxed them out a hundred years ago in order to survive.

The family business value has also been used up.

In other words, Qin Lie really has no trump cards left.

He stared intently at the battle ahead, cursing under his breath.

If I can get out of here alive this time.

No matter what, we must always keep some trump cards up our sleeves.

You can't always push yourself to the brink of despair.

of course.

All of this is predicated on the premise that he still has a future.

Qin Lie looked up towards the direction outside Duanfeng Pass.

Lu Chen and Li Hu should already be on their way out.

As soon as they leave Duanfeng Pass, the city lord will receive the message.

Qin Lie's only hope now is that the city lord arrives as soon as possible.

Then take him and Xu Qinghe out of here.

Otherwise, he probably really wouldn't have a future.
